No Tailgate Game This Year

Due to a limited football ticket supply, the OSU Alumni Club of Detroit will not be holding a Tailgate game in Columbus this fall. Those alums that received tickets via the lottery may want to check the OSU Alumni Association website for any pre-game Bashes that the Alumni Association may be holding. And remember, the Club's Ticket Exchange is a good way to find, trade or sell home game tickets.

Ticket Exchange

If you have football tickets you won't be able to use, or if you are looking for home game tickets, you're in luck! Every football season the OSU Alumni Club of Detroit provides a ticket exchange service to our members. For assistance please e-mail Steve Klepchak at bux72@yahoo.com. You can also reach Steve by phone at (248) 628-4656 and leave your email address/phone number with him so you can be put in touch with a fellow exchanger.

Also, if you are interested in donating a pair of tickets for a significant game (for example, against Michigan or Penn State) that the club can use in conjunction with an auction package or raffle for the scholarship program, the club will gladly accept and recognize your donation. Ideally, the ticket donation should occur early enough in the season to allow ample time to announce the auction package to our membership and to post on the club's web site.

2009 Gold Star Club!

Three members of your Alumni Club of Detroit Board attended the annual Alumni Leadership Conference sponsored by the Ohio State University Alumni Assoc. The theme of this year’s conference was BUCKEYES WITHOUT BOUNDARIES.

Among the highlights of the conference was the award of a Gold Star for the club. Only the top 10% of clubs receive the Gold Star. It was the 9th Gold Star for the club and the 7th in the past 9 years.

Other Gold Star winners were Austin Tex, Erie County, Franklin County, Richland County, San Diego, CA, Sandhills, NC, Sarasota/Manatee FL and our sister club, Western MI. Over 200 alumni attended the conference from as far away as Hawaii.

Yvette McGee Brown, President – Center for Child and Family Advocacy, and outgoing chair of OSUAA, delivered a great keynote speech, emphasizing the role of the Alumni Assoc. in making The Ohio State University great.

Breakout sessions included, Beyond the Mainstream: Thriving in a digital Media World, OSUAA web preview, and best practices, clubs, societies and diversity.

Pictured above are Csaba Szabo, Paul Shapiro, Archie Griffin, David Emerling and Larry Lokai all from your Motor City Buckeyes! Congrats!
